Why is it important to read to young children?
Develpoing literacy skills begins at birth and continues throughout the toddler and preschool years. The best way to ensure a child has the skills necessary to learn to read is having someone read aloud to them.
How do we get started?
Fill out a registration card in the Oskaloosa Library for your 0-5 year old. You will receive a folder with directions and your first book log, 1-100. When the first log is filled, bring it to the library for a sticker and receive a second log. At 500 book mark, children earn a book. At the 1000 book mark, children earn a t-shirt.
By reading to your child, you can help your child to learn the following:
- Print Motivation
- Vocabulary
- Print Awareness
- Letter Knowledge
- Phonological Awareness
- Narrative Skills

i love these programs. reading to children is such a very important thing, kids need to put down the video games and television shows and use there imagination. reading to your kids helps them in many ways.good article good review.
I do believe reading to your children help stimulate their brain. I used to read to my daughter every night and she is a very smart young lady with good grades, but for some reason she don't like to read.
